BaR News Round Up June 2024

The launch of the new entries to the Buildings at Risk register will take place on 19 June.  We will be publishing details of more than 80 buildings nominated over the course of the year on the website on the day.  In the meantime, we have some interesting updates from Herefordshire including several buildings for sale which have emerged from the on-going update work.

Herefordshire updates

For sale

Knoll Cottage, Bircher, Leominster - This once thatched, grade II listed and charming cottage dating from the 17th century on a generous plot has been sadly neglected for a number of years and has been on the market for a while.  Its price has recently been reduced.  (Image 1)

Ricketts Castle, Titley - Another cottage with great appeal and interest standing in countryside but easily accessible, is still on the market having been first marketed in Fenruary this year. (Image 2)

St Michael's & All Angels Church, Dulas - This beautiful listed church has had planning permission and listed building consent for conversion but has been on the market for a while.  We understand that the Church of England are now managing the sale.

Other news

The Salt Box, Lower Eggleton - This lovely timbered house appears now to be completely restored after repair and restoration work and we will remove it from the register in the near future.

The Pleck, Bishopstone - Contrasted with the success story above, the tale of this timbered and listed cottage makes more sobering reading.  Once simply a historic building that needed care and attention, it has now partially collapsed due to neglect and is in dreadful condition. (Image 3)
